Looking For Larry (10/3), Sherborne (5/1), Haas Boy (6/1), Flash Gorcombe (6/1), Bonza Boy (15/2), Valirann Gold (17/2), Tribesmans Glory (9/1), Fire Dancer (12/1), Time To Bite (14/1), Brulure Noire (14/1), Longshanks (16/1)

FLASH GORCOMBE has a terrific strike rate (successful 6 out of last 13 starts over fences) and should have more wins in him judged by his wide-margin success over C&D on New Year's Day. Looking For Larry landed a gamble over hurdles on the same card and this point winner is an interesting chase debutant, while Tribesmans Glory and Sherborne should both benefit from this shorter distance.
